Changing the Connection Type
The default connection method used by the Router for the WAN connection is
PPP over Ethernet. If you wish to use this method you do not need to change this
setting. However if you plan to use a static IP address for a “Bridged Ethernet”
(RFC 1483) connection, or PPP over ATM (RFC 2364) you must select those
protocols in this window.
